Mars and Joop
Seeing via star test was not great, but the mirror was within .5 degrees. albeit -2 for joop and -4 for mars.

I am very happy with mars as I never got to try the tracking & powermate last time round.

Nice work Dave, WSZ looks really nice on joop and the SPC on Mars is really shrinking!

It was clear here last night too, but after having to work overnight the last 3 nights I couldn't stay up past 9pm last night

Nice images for the early time of mars.
What is the dark spot on the band, is it a moon?
